Lewis Hamilton is convinced Ferrari will give him the chance to win his eighth world championship, describing his “magic” new team as having everything in place to compete.
Vasseur, who is now entering his third season in charge at Ferrari and worked with Hamilton when the British driver drove for his ART team in GP2 in 2006, had no doubts he would be an invaluable asset.
Hamilton has been reinvigorated by his switch from Mercedes and he and his teammate Charles Leclerc drove their new challenger, the SF-25, for the first time in a shakedown run at the team’s test track at Fiorano on Wednesday.
“Yes, I have worked with two world championship-winning teams before, I know what a winning team looks and feels like,” he said.
“We have a great leader in Fred and John and Benedetto, so everyone has a really calm and good approach, no believes they are perfect and everyone wants to elevate in every area and we are leaving no stone unturned to try and do that.”.
